Frequently Asked Questions About permanent jewelry

Links by Lena is a welded jewelry experience offering a curated selection of .925 Sterling Silver and 14K gold-filled chains. This process is also called "permanent jewelry". We work with our clients to tell their story through the jewelry that they wear. Our chains can be crafted into beautiful bracelets, necklaces, anklets or rings. Join us for a welded jewelry experience by hosting a private party or booking an appointment at one of our many pop up events around Northern Mississippi.

First, you will work with your Links by Lena specialist to select your chain. Then we will work together to decide what fit best suits you and your lifestyle ... and what story you want to tell. Once you have found the perfect fit, the welding begins! You will be provided with protective glasses (selfie worthy) so you can watch the tiny Sparks bond your Collection Chain together. You will leave with a beautiful, dainty, permanent piece of jewelry and the start of your Links by Lena Collection!

After you select your chain, you can expect the process to take around 10-15 minutes.

Our 14K gold-filled chains are the most recommended for longevity beyond 2 years. Another choice is our Sterling Silver chains. These cost less, but need  occasional cleaning. Average lifetime is 2-years. 

Watch our Facebook page for walk-in dates in our permanent studio in Olive Branch, MS.  We’re constantly popping up at local businesses in and around Northern Mississippi offering 20 minute appointments for you to start or add to your Links by Lena Collection.  

To book a private party, you can use the booking link on our website and we'll work with you to find a date. We just require a 5 item minimum (excluding rings) and we'll bring everything to you! All we need is a well lit space near an outlet ... we bring the rest.

Bracelets start at $30. Our most popular designs run between $40-50. Charms and connectors start at $10 each. Since everything is custom, pricing will vary depending on your design. We do carry solid 14k gold chains which start at $20 per inch. 

We accept all major credit and debit cards, CashApp and VENMO. Cash is accepted, but designer may have limited change, so please try to bring exact amount.

If you need to remove your collection chain, please cut it at the jump ring (where we welded it on) and save your chain. We offer one free reattachment per item. After that the reattachment fee is $10 per item (+ tax).

Not at all! Despite the flash, getting welded does not mean you're physically getting zapped. We would never do that to you! We will supply you with UV protected glasses so you can experience the "rush" of the experience though.
